NCT ID NCT01537770
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether a procedure called vertebroplasty (injecting cement into a broken spine bone) relieves pain better than a sham (fake) procedure in people with osteoporosis. 52 adults aged 50 and older with recent spine fractures took part. The main goal was to measure pain relief and quality of life over a year.
